Ultimate Bad Ass Round 1: Jack Bauer Bracket

Started by Mike Olbinski · 3 months ago

So here we go, the first week of Ultimate Bad Ass. While we still await the results of the Wildcard Playoff (and Mr. T’s miraculous lead), we are going to get started on the first round of action.
The first games we have are from the Jack Bauer bracket, called thus for Jac ... Continue reading »

    OMG how fun is this!?!?!
    They specifically need to make a 24 episode of Jack slappin around McGuyver....

    Although Riggs is cool..he's not Taking Chan...

    Linus, I'm afraid thinks he feels lucky...Harry in this one..

    Just seeing the Matrix vs Kirk contest cracks me up!! Kirk has a phaser and double clasp back blast shot, Matrix..has everything else... nod to the commando...I mean come on he has to win, you see the kind of sandwiches this guy eats?

    Can you imagine McGruber... I mean MacGuyver trying to build something out of paper clips and duct tape while Jack Bauer beats the tar out of him.

    Great contest!

    After only 6 votes, the #4 vs #5 match proves the most interesting!

    I just see as Kirk is pausing in his melo-dramitc speech, he gets punched in the face...

    What even funnier is Buffer has his own web page.

    I couldn't recall his last name so i did quick search and up comes www.letsrumble.com - Go figure.

    @Kory - So completely random it's funny.

    Yeah, I like Kirk too, but no way he's taking down The Commando! Unless...Kirk gets close enough to break out the Vulcan Death Grip...

    Still, The Commando use machine guns and like bazookas and stuff... Kirk's gonna have a hard time in his fancy pantsuit.

    Kirk has the advantage in his corner.
    - Bones gives him a shot of tri-ox compound
    - Spock calls out completely logical attack moves
    - Scotty stands at the ready at the transporter
    - Checkov mans the weapons station
    - Sulu has the Conn
    - and, Yeoman Rand has a clipboard for no conceivable purpose

    James T. Kirk's best weapon was not the Vulcan Death Grip (which apparently only puts people to sleep?) but the aptly named (because I named it) "Jim Kirk", which is the double clasped hammer fist technique. That said, John Matrix is pretty cool, and he can kill hundreds of people (I seem to recall it being about 120?) in a relatively short time, without needing a starship to do it with. I'm a bit conflicted here.

    Ben and McGyver really had no chance in this lineup at all. Neither is a badass.

    Ben can convince Dirty Harry to shoot himself.

    Dirty Harry is no weak-willed weenie full of problems and angst, so I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Ben won't be able to convince him of anything, especially not with his head blown clean off.

    @ Robert - I'm with you on this. I simply do not see Dirty Harry willing to listen to what Ben has to say.

    Who knows, he just made it...maybe he should have been saved for the bad guys bracket down the road.

    Definitely for the bad guys bracket, esp in light of the fact that Jules isn't going to get in. so not happy. :-(

    Riggs, Riggs, Riggs, Riggs!! The guy took like 10 bullets at the end of Lethal Weapon 2 and survived, can dislocate his shoulder at will, and had who knows how many "at bats" with Patsy Kensit as well. I could go on and on. Come on people!

    Cap'n, you are starting to sound like Chemical Ali...I mean, Kirk is up by like 5 votes or something, yet you are talking about him like he's losing :)

    The Commando is only behind by three now. Looks like he could catch up. Kirk just doesn't have the stamina to go against a commando.
